Can I use last year's ACCA SBR edition?
Possibly - check what changed
No syllabus changes for 2026-27, but SBR tracks IFRS closely - IFRS 18 and the IFRS S1/S2 sustainability standards entered the exam from 2025, so pre-2025 editions have real gaps.

What changes between SBR editions
No syllabus changes for 2026-27, but SBR tracks IFRS closely - IFRS 18 and the IFRS S1/S2 sustainability standards entered the exam from 2025, so pre-2025 editions have real gaps. A 2025-26 text is fine with ACCA's free technical articles; use a current exam kit regardless.
Always double-check the edition against your exam sitting before buying. When in doubt, ACCA's official syllabus documents are free and definitive.
